Details: Southern Fried celebrate a centenary of releases with a label compilation mixed by Mighty Dub Katz (aka Norman Cook) and Cagedbaby.
Southern Fried's first ever label compilation Fried and Tested is set for release on the 30th April 2007. A celebration of over 100 releases, Fried And Tested is mixed by label boss Norman Cook in his Mighty Dub Katz guise and Tom Cagedbaby. It's a special double CD affair, overflowing with releases past and present. Mighty Dub Katz takes care of the label's hits and the big moments, while Cagedbaby goes slightly bananas and jams 28 tracks into a mastermix that has to be heard to be believed.
100 releases is a great achievement for any independent label. Southern Fried have never done things the easy way but have released music, supported artists and found success on their own terms. Records from Armand Van Helden, Scanty Sandwich, Kurtis Mantronix, Space Cowboy, Cagedbaby, Black Ghosts, Trabant and Grandadbob, to name just a few, have made Southern Fried one of the most original and unique dance labels around. They even helped propel Elton John to number one with a record he recorded in the 1970s! They have plenty more music up their sleeve and juice left in the tank!
Joining the party, Southern Fried are also going to re-release the classic and much in demand Mighty Dub Katz single 'Magic Carpet Ride' with new mixes by Norman Cook and man-of the-moment Claude Von Stroke.
Norman Cook comments: "It was only listening back over 100 releases and 15 years that I remembered how many rules we broke. Tee hee. Here's to a continuing babble of acid house party tunes that turn us on"
Tom Cagedbaby comments: "Fried and Tested, I was blessed with the opportunity to flash fry the styles of Southern Fried, one of the most diverse and dedicated labels around. Combo'd up into a mix that should stand the test of time! May I suggest the house special to aid digestion?"
